Fishing at the Lake

Jackson received his first fishing pole from the Lee's for his birthday. He had a great time practicing casting it at the beach (with no hook).

Sleepy boy and his dog

Jackson and Precious tired out from a weekend at the lake.

Jackson loves his books. We read every night before bed and before nap. He will spend a long time looking at books on his own too. No offense to Daddy, but I think his love of reading comes from Mommy :)

Walking with Dinosaurs

We took Jackson to see Walking with Dinosaurs at the Lucas County Arena. It was amazing!! The dinosaurs were gigantic and so lifelike. It was also very educational, a lot of information about the dinosaurs. All Jackson talked about was seeing the T-Rex. Of course being a 3 year old he did not nap that afternoon. He ended up falling asleep literally minutes before it came out-it was the finale dinosaur. Somehow he slept through all of the roaring and growling. Luckily there had been a smaller dinosaur that resembled a T-Rex so he thought that he had seen it. We did not tell him any differently :) We will definitely go back if it comes to town again.

Lainey's crib

Daddy and the very proud big brother working on putting Lainey's crib together.

The beautiful finished product!

Jackson had to try out the bed to make sure it was safe and comfortable for his baby sister.

Potty trained!!!!

We told Jackson that when he turned 3 he wouldn't be able to wear diapers anymore. The weekend after his birthday we put him in big boy underwear for the weekend. It was all that he needed. He only had 2 accidents throughout that weekend and that was it! We should have put him in underwear way before that-it was obviously what he was waiting for :)


I don't think I have ever seen anything as cute as his little bum in his underwear!!!!

Big Boy room

We started turning the guest room into Lainey's nursery so we thought that Jackson deserved to redecorate his room too. He is really into Toy Story-especially Buzz Lightyear. We turned his toddler bed into a full size bed-and got a new Toy Story bedding set. We also got some Buzz Lightyear decal to put up. Jackson is very satisfied and excited about his new big boy room.


Jackson, of course, was a big helper throughout the project. You can count on him to be anywhere there is tools!!

He looked so small in his new big bed-he adjusted really well though. It is nice to be able to lay in bed with him to read bedtime stories.
